This also means that the individual has the right to add such personal data that is missing and that is relevant taking into account the purpose of the personal data processing.

The right to erasure (“Right to be forgotten”) 

You have the right to request that Zaver erases your personal data where one of the following grounds applies:

When the limitation ceases to apply, you shall be informed.

5. Automated decisions and profiling

Profiling means an automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal matters, for example, your financial situation, personal preference, behaviours or your place of residence.


Zaver’s and Zaver’s business partners’ decision on whether to offer one of the Zaver payment methods and determining the risk of fraud, money laundering and terrorism financing are based solely on automated decisions that includes profiling. Within the framework of the payment method and risk check, information from the externally used credit agencies (see clause 7), information from agencies that provide PEP and sanction lists, as well as information that we have about you is used. On the basis of mathematical-statistical methods (in particular methods of logistic regression or other statistical, partially automated optimisation models), a forecast is created, in particular about payment probabilities and, if applicable, risks of fraud and abuse, both through comparisons with groups of people who exhibited similar payment behaviour in the past and through historical analyses of fraud patterns (in particular through extrapolation to our target groups). Zaver’s and Zaver’s partners’ risk models include a large number of other factors such as internal credit risk appetite and  the general risk assessment  made of our respective business. 

If you are not approved in regards to the automated decision making you will not have access to our services, such as our payment methods. Zaver has several security mechanisms to check that the decisions made are correct, which includes on-going overviews of our decision models, and random spot-checks in individual cases. You may contact Zaver if you disapprove of the outcome of the automated decision, and we will review your case.

In addition, profiling and automated decision making may be used by Zaver for market and customer analysis and marketing. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, see clause 2.

Your personal data is stored and processed in electronic data management systems administered by Zaver. Zaver primarily processes your personal data within the EU/EEA. When we share your personal data, we ensure that the recipient processes it in accordance with this policy, e.g. by entering into data transfer agreements or data processor agreements with the recipients.

Zaver may transfer and process your personal data outside the EU/EEA. This is done only if the country to which the data is transferred or in which it is stored has an adequate level of data protection or if Zaver (or where applicable, our Data Processors ) has implemented appropriate safeguards, such as binding corporate rules or standard contract clauses.

7. Who we share your personal data with and where the information is transferred 

Suppliers and subcontractors – Suppliers and subcontractors includes third parties that only have the right to process the personal data that Zaver transfers to these third parties on behalf of Zaver, i.e. so called data processors. Examples of such suppliers and subcontractors that Zaver uses are software and data storage providers, consultants (legal, risk and tech consultants). All categories of personal data may be shared with suppliers and subcontractors. Suppliers and subcontractors will only have access to your data to the extent and for the period necessary to provide the relevant service.  We ensure that the suppliers and subcontractors process the data in accordance with this policy. Zaver has a legitimate interest in being able to access these services and functionality (article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

When we transfer data based on our legitimate interest, we have concluded that the processing is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. Debt collection companies that we may transfer your data to include but are not limited to Arvato Finance AB (Sweden) and Paigo GmbH (Germany). Please note that if we transfer unpaid debt to debt collection agencies, such agencies may in turn share information about your late payments to a credit bureau, which may affect your credit rating.

Social media companies - If you contact us via social media such as Facebook, Linkedin or Instagram, your personal data will also be collected and processed by these companies, in accordance with their privacy notices, see clause 6 above regarding transfer of data to third countries.

Zaver shares your name, date of birth and, if applicable, your social security number with Trapets AB in order to obtain data from PEP and sanctions lists. Zaver shares your information to fulfil legal obligations (article 6(1)(c) GDPR), as the companies that provide PEP/sanction lists have information that Zaver needs to comply with sanctions and achieve customer knowledge in accordance with applicable laws relating to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. The processing may also be based on  Zaver’s legitimate interest (article 6(1)(f) GDPR) to assess the risk connected to a specific user in order to ensure that Zaver’s services are not used in connection with money laundering, terrorist financing or other crimes (e.g. if Zaver has no obligation to comply with applicable laws relating to anti-money laundering and terrorist financing). When we transfer data based on our legitimate interest, we have concluded that the processing is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. 

Credit information bureaus – If you apply to use Zavers payment services that involve credit being provided to you by us, the relevant merchant or by another third party (as applicable), we will share your personal data with credit information bureaus. Your personal information is shared with credit information bureaus in order to assess your creditworthiness in connection with your credit application, to confirm your identity and your contact information, and to protect us, the merchant or cooperation partners, users and customers from fraud. Zaver shares your information based on Zaver’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), as the credit information bureaus have information about your financial standing which is important to ensure a correct credit and fraud assessment. When we transfer data based on our legitimate interest, we have concluded that the processing is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. The credit information bureau processes your personal data in accordance with its own privacy notice.

Authorities and/or Companies that provide identity information and fraud prevention - Your personal data will be shared with companies and authorities that carry out identity verification and fraud prevention. Zaver transfers your name, address, date of birth and phone number to verify your identity and the accuracy of the data you have provided, as well as to combat fraud and crime.  Zaver shares your information based on Zaver’s legitimate interest (article 6(1)(f) GDPR), as the fraud prevention agencies and the companies that offer identity verification have information on fraud activities and identity confirmations that are necessary for Zaver to be able to  reduce the number of fraudulent transactions.
